Crocuses

Ah, crocuses. Little bowls of color. . . always welcome signs that spring has finally arrived. Snow crocuses are the first to appear, then Tommies, the types that squirrels are less enamored with, and then the large Dutch varieties. Pretty, but grown for their valuable stamens, there are finally the Saffron Crocuses. All are snap to plant and in a hospitable site will naturalize and spread. What's spring without crocuses?
